Tree Magick
A waxing Moon in Pisces square Jupiter with the Sun Opposite Uranus and Mars on the Node is tres amphetamine. Skittish? Multi-tasking to the point that it may be becoming a mania? Go hug a tree. Or swim/yoga/cleanse. Once re-grounded you can get back to the fiendish scheming hyperactivity only it won’t be so manic.
Also, i know it’s hard, but remember one of the key mantras of this Feral Full Moon that i have been banging on about is that you ideally detach from other peeps dramas…if they do not actually concern you and there is nothing practical that you can/should do to help the situation. Your duty now is to do your Awesome and Thrive On.
This is the strangest Astro weather I ever remember being in. Seriously. Wow!
same. i feel unusually paranoid and agoraphobic and lonely.
I feel that too. I just want to be inside but conflicting with that is intense loneliness. Very, very strange.
I´m with you guys
Yes.
Totes relate.
Want to lock myself up in the house and just crawl into a ball yet feel ridiculously lonely at times. Am forcing myself to be social at the moment, but then find myself feeling like “no one understands and everyone is full of it”. It’s such a mess.
I wish we could holographically project ourselves and have an astrologically-sensitive-recluse meetup. Technically we’re not leaving the house and we wouldn’t be lonely or all “noone gets meeeee”. Problem solved!
wow I feel a bit better knowing its not just me! Sensitive city! Jumping at shadows,feel unsafe walking to the shops. AND THEN my bestie keep cancelling on me/forgetting we had plans! *wraps pisces moon in blankets* I’m bringing chocolate brownies to the holographic meet up!
btw wrapping my own pisces moon in blankets. I guess this moon is adding to my sensitive woo woo nature. Probably end up rescuing snails from the rainiy footpath this arvo. astral hugs & peace to all
That’s what we’re doing right now, no?
Sorry to hear all these. That’s how I’ve been feeling for like the past two YEARS and i’m strangely in love with this astro.
SO…irony…i’ve booked myself a live show on Saturday night, by myself…
to find that it’s smack bang in the middle of the biggest stoopid streetfest fireworks city celebration that i always avoid!!!! Like RIGHT in the middle of it and at the time of it. Faaaark! Shit!
I loathe crowds.
So wish my four Mars squares patience, won’t you. I will think of your being home and smile with grim envy, no doubt.
Good luck.. you will be great!! xo!
Thank you, VE, i’m watching not performing which is a shame as it’s the kind of thing that has me wanting to jump up and become a genius of contemporary dance. Watching raw powerful dance often makes me cry, would you believe. So does Noh.
Good luck!!!
It sounds exciting
oooo i love that you said this – moon in pisces is mirror cleansing and charging moon = detachment from projection is so apt in this moment – thank you!
Up here in the Northern Hemisphere, it’s early autumn and the trees spirits are all preparing to go back down into the earth and sleep. Someone asked me what the tree spirits say, I told her that they don’t speak English, it’s not really something that translates into human language. But right about this time of year, I can sense one message that does translate. The tree spirits see the angle of the sun changing with the seasons, and they say, “not yet!”
Ha ha! I thought they’d be more accepting and patient. I find this strangely comforting.
I seriously want this month to be over. The astro weirdness of the last two weeks has suppressed my immuno from stress and worry. Works is a soap opera. Friends are delusional. Boyfriend is MIA (visiting friends and family out of town), perhaps that’s for the better.
I am detaching because at this point there really isn’t anything else to do, am to weak to fight, will spend most of this weekend lighting candles, taking cat naps, and packing for trip to Dublin.
and too weak to spell check, soz.
am wishing you a safe journey and so sorry to hear you’re having a sad time lovely x
Thank you, Love. Appreciate it! Blessings.
She looks so grounded. Yeah like that’s what models do – hug trees.
You nailed it! Skittish and multi tasking.. and I’m seeing way too much road rage already. :/
I love trees..what a great idea and way to ground!
Sidles up to tree and says “Well ok tree, I’m going to hug you now….is this right…what do you mean I’m not looking natural….who hugs trees anyway? I don’t know anyone who hugs friggin’ trees”.
Ha! I used to hug the friggin’ trees a lot more.
Now I feel like that not many trees love people or wish them well. At least in suburbia.
In fact some seem downright prickly.
But then, if you were unable to move, were watching developers raise your friends to the ground and were in a state of constant tension as to your own future – would you care for a hug?
(Sidles up to tree and says “Well ok tree, I’m going to hug you now….is this right?…”FUQ OFF!” screams tree)
It’s like horses, having cared for, been kicked and bitten by equines, I no longer feel as sure of their sweetness up close.
Luckily I have learned to detach from dramas I can’t do much about.
Haha this made me laugh. Yeah I had a tree kick me off once (so it felt) when I was hugging it. It didn’t want the intrusion of me coming up and being all.. helloOoo! how are youu? huggy, huggy, sharey, sharey. That was nearly 20 years ago! Since then careful about approaching trees – just like I would any living being. But generally being in woods or next to trees, I feel good. I just don’t need to force them into relationship! Coexisting is enough
Good for you for learning to detach from dramas. Such a relief when you do, huh?
That’s amazing. I always found tree hugging really presumptuous. I’ve never done it. Most i can do is put my hand on a tree and even then i feel kind of shy and very slow about it. Not all trees like people i feel. Which i totally get.
Whenever i leave the office to go outside, no matter whether i’m there 5 minutes, standing, constantly moving i come back in with an ant on me. It happens when i’m just near not even under a tree and i check around for ants but can never see any. If i’m with someone else they never seem to come back in with an ant. And it usually makes itself felt when someone starts talking to me about work. Suddenly i wriggle and shout and have to apologise.
I’m sure one of the trees puts it there!
I can so see a tree putting an ant on you, sort of like a child reaching out a twiggy finger and thinking its a funny present. Although ants are amazing symbolically hey! Super hard working, building & order, amazingly industrious & social community beasts. Also black & shiny lol. Maybe that tree likes you & wants you to have ant companions
I’ve had some nice hugs with trees, you feel that some of them are loving but yeah! other times I’ve been whipped by branches, getting a strong feeling the tree wants not a bar.
Rofl. Minxy trees! I love that they are helping to sabotage your workaday face too. It’s a little bit of the wild being attracted to and bringing it the same out of you. And the fact that it’s just you and nobody else? That’s special!
The above was me, sorry.
Did someone roll themselves up in a bag and take a peek at my life?
Yes, manically busy. Wondering how to split self in two, three….
Thanks, Mystic. Will try swimming or hug to ground self. Bril!
Sounds excellent for my ideal Friday evening, which is walking to a park high on the river bank and sitting in the arms/limbs of one of my favourite trees where I watch the sunset.
Lovely idea riverwalker, I shall do the same there’s some really old gums in the middle of Australia. One I have hugged is believed to be over 300 years old near Trephina Gorge. Actually, I’ve got a massive one only 3 meters away…yep hugged
i went for a swim in the ocean a few days ago on a visit to the sunshine coast. it is a great way to forget all the detrita that takes up our hours and to feel connected and grounded. it’s just you and the next wave – then (a little bit of) sunbathing…ahhh
I’m copying you tomorrow, Pacific Ocean arctic temperatures be damned. Shock therapy.
I also decided as of my mini-flipout/overall feelings of anti-wellbeing that tomorrow I’m scheduling an emergency acupuncture appointment. I haven’t been in months.
you won’t regret it. and yes, you get kudos for bravado (it also takes about 5 years off your looks – for awhile..).
It’s the shock that does creates the youthful look! =8-0
Maybe why facelifts create a surprised look too? Perhaps we just need practical jokers around 24/7 to maintain our looks.
I got an acupuncture treatment and a massage this week. It all really helped immensely! Definitely do it!
Ocean sounds good too!
I’m a little bit worried about this weekend with full moon. I am having one housemate move out and two new ones moving in, so a lot of change and potential commotion. I’m praying for it all to go smoothly….
I have a Pisces moon, so I have been feeling a little hyper-sensitive and hyper-vigilant the last couple days, but I have taken Mystic’s advice about sleeping a lot and along with the acu and massage, I’m doing pretty well, all things considered…
Ah, big tip: treading in thigh high somewhat rough surf is great for muscle definition. I’m not sure what the science is but every time I’ve done that, I swear my legs are better.
Shhhhh– trying to indulge my sleep fetish over here!
Besides the usual pms Pre full moon. I feel fine. I feel protected. Sending well wishes
I need some grounding right now, right on Mystic
I got zapped. Majorly. Lost my job, lost my best friend, losing my apartment, losing my financial independence, losing my regular independence…not sure what my life is anymore. I think I’m going to get rid of 90% of my things. I can’t even look at my stuff without feeling like they belong to someone who doesn’t exist anymore.
:0( Wishing you a BRIGHTER ‘morrow, Bright
:/ Thanks. Thinking about changing my name. And cutting my hair. What other life changes can I make to regain some sense of control? lol
It’s crazy times…I hope you keep your chin up and amazing opportunities come out of the shakeup. Some…no, MOST of the best things that have ever happened to me happened after I lost a lot or changed suddenly.
That sounds dreadful. I wish you well.
all the best bright. i too have found myself jobless with a few weeks left on my rental property. i am having a huge ebay sale before packing up and moving interstate. the first few weeks were v traumatic and i did what i could legally with the issues. it is tough to start up again but do-able (and i’m late 40s).
sorry to hear about losing your friendship – that’s much tougher. self-care, keep planning and working a little every day to re-build your life. it is just the beginning of a new phase for you and will bring about opportunities you wouldn’t have thought about just a little while ago..best
Wow, Bright. Unbelievable. Sending big hugs. Look it’s a great time to start fresh and to declutter but don’t be too savage with the culling when emotions run high. Some day you may appreciate things to look back on to see how far you’ve come. Maybe not heaps of stuff but some reminders.
Def cut your hair! You’ll love it!!! I love having mine cut and do it every 4-5 weeks. Plus my hairdresser is freaking gorgeous and an artist – inspirational. If you don’t like it it’s hair and it grows back.
I say do whatever makes you feel good, even for moments. Those losses are incredible and you need to be good to yourself while you grieve and build fresh.
I know it’s frightening to lose so much B. I thought I had finally adjusted to all the major losses in my life ( mother, job, relationship, dog and cat ! ) that moving out of my old house of 20 yrs would be a breeze. Wrong….
Anyway, enough about me, my advice ? Even tho ur not asking.LOL.
Meditate, do yoga, and relaxation exercises ( yoga nidra is brill ) as often as you can..everyday do one or the other. Allow ur self to experience the bad emotions, as long as u don’t feel overwhelmed. In which case, ask a spiritual advisor how best to proceed in these early days of extreme loss. Reach out for people. Ask for support. A chat. A cup of tea. What ever. Let people know how it’s going.
Now I am out of the vortex, I am blessed with an amazing life I would never have thought possible. As Mystic would say ” your phoenixing ” honey…lock and load….the ride has just begun. Much metta to you
Until you have fallen peacefully asleep in the arms of a big strong tree you haven’t fully lived as a homosapien
Hi everyone, me and the family are on a north coast (nsw) surf, road trip. Just spent a few days in Byron surfing at the pass and staying in a rainforest hut near the beach. We are in full hippy mode.
Yesterday we were trundling back from the beach when my son trod on the biggest brown snake I’ve ever seen. About 6 ft long and very thick. Yes they are deadly but somehow it all happened in slow motion , he treads on it , it lifts its whole body upright and stares him in the eye , but instead of striking he or she just lay down and slithered away , my son frozen in fear. Exciting and wow, we all laughed nervously for hours. On our way to Qld where we move in to Gold Coast mode . As my 9 year old describes it…sushi in the spa. It’s crazy energy around here for sure. Hope all of you have a great ful moon weekend x I’m howling already.
Here’s where we were yesterday, protesters falls near nimbin, it’s so beautiful.

great photo D
Beautiful David, such a special place, those brown snakes are out and about now!
Yes lots of snake sightings at the mo.
Snake sighting in my dreams
Wow – that is an amazing story about the brown snake David! Surreal and potentially very scary but in snake medicine terms quite powerful so perhaps an omen of sorts?
I, on the other hand deliberately had pythons draped over my body on the weekend. One quite small and fast moving with it’s tongue flicking on my skin and the other about 8 foot… huge and heavy and very active! It was awesome
Ah.. northern NSW… yes yes, bliss! How you could not have a great weekend.
Fantastic! Don’t tell me the context! I’m inventing some great scenarios/reasons why this happened. Some rather saucy…
This has nothing to do with tree magick, but…..
So. Was told that the reason I was two-timed is because “like attracts like” as so I asked for it. I’m sorry, I did not ask for my trust to be broken and my heart ripped out and to feel like shit. And if like attracts like… why does he still have a girlfriend (who has no idea she’s dating a lying cheating arsehole.)
I’m just so mad.
I try my very best to trust people, to love them, and it’s the bastards that get away with it. Where are the karma police???????
Please universe. I just want to be happy.
Sometimes I think the karma police are in another time / space zone and they only step in at a certain point. Until that point comes, all sorts of horrible unjust things can happen.
But we’re never just dealing with this here and now perspective , or so it seems to me. Maybe the ex-boyfriend was a painful expression of part of your chart that needed an alarm call. Who knows what is around the corner ? Could be something good !
Haha! Damn better be something better than him! And that’s a big ask of the universe because, yes he was a lying two timing bastard, but he was gooooooooooood in every other aspect (not just sexual if that’s what we’re thinking)
Oops. That was me. And sorry to focus so narrowly on your last comment.
I honestly thought that part of my chart had played out with the last wanker I dated.
Shall I also add I am drinking and by last wanker I am referring to the wanker before the last.
But yes. I get it. I’ve been working had to fix things.
I just want a nice turn of the “wheel of fortune” and an application of the justice card.
Yep. I am so hungover right now. Don’t ever remember writing the above last night, hahaha.
Hey WOOHOO, sorry to hear about the wanker/s. They are everywhere, no? I wouldn’t get too hung up on what you somehow ‘did’ to attract this person. The important thing is what you do about it once they’re in your orbit and it sounds to me that you’re wiser for the experience and you value yourself enough to call it for what it was, be honest about your hurt and take care of yourself. I was really inspired by a comment of yours the other day about ‘being in love with yourself’ and all those lovely things you did. After I read it I cooked myself a really lovely meal, proper food, something I never do when I’m by myself. Today I’m buying myself flowers!
Hope your hangover isn’t too bad
Awww, I’m glad I inspired you a little to do something nice for yourself!
Yeah, hangover has finally gone. I didn’t think I could get out of bed earlier!
Hopefully I’ll never have to be in his orbit again! I hate being taken for a ride. That’s what makes me most mad. I want to “call it for what it was” to his face! He thinks I don’t know. Like he got away with his little secret. I just want him to know that I know. But also, I just never ever ever want to see him again.
Anyway……..! Shit happens and it’s time to move on. Back to doing things for me. Back to the bucket list. Bought some property investment books. Buying a house is on the list. Not there at preset but I figure I will one day and when I am i’ll be prepared.
Oh! And I meant to ask Crysalis…. What flowers are you getting????
YES! this feral full moon is conjunct my north node and MC and it was my week for radical work makeover after the king tide went WAY out in that zone of my chart a few weeks ago and it’s already working – everything is so FAST at the moment.
Whoa, this explains it. People are looking at me ludicrously like HOW do you get all your work done. I know I’m going in hyper speeds BUT I don’t actually feel it’s odd and I feel utterly calm about it. Like yeah, I have loads of work I’m doing, so? I think it’s helped how I’ve been using the micro to manage the macro.. I think do the work, the rest will follow.
Fortune presented me with a faery ring of trees on the weekend. Large trees in a circle. I layed in the middle and stared up as they all met and then was called to weave in and out of them in a circle 3 times for some reason.. so I did and yep, I’m sure any passers by thought I was odd but whatever. They had fantastic energy.
This moon is not doing my head in. Everything leading up to it has been for the last few weeks but I’m not in that feral flow for some reason. I’ll see how the weekend rolls along as it might change but right now I’m feeling pretty chilled and relaxed.
Same here. Last few weeks have sucked but now I’m feeling calm, relaxed and comfortable in my space, but trying not to be complacent about it. Hugs to to those the astro’s not being so kind to.
I am with ya a little. I feel energized. The last 2 weeks have been painful.. but Wednesday to Today I am on cloud nine… being extroverted, not caring what anyone thinks, trying to bring people up… and I am dancing… Let’s see what comes up this w/e. A little nervous (falling from cloud nine and hitting the cement.. LOL) but I am enjoying this “Flash Dance”…. LOL!!
xo!!
Interesting.. although I would like to hug a tree because my enthusiasm is at an all time hight right now I need to get centered. I am so excited and I honestly don’t know why. I am peppy, dancing and in good spirits.. I am afraid of hitting the cement. Like Katy Perry’s song. I am gonna trying and bring this down some.. keeping to myself and watching from a bubble!
xo!!
My pocket handkerchief of a garden has a Rowan tree growing in it. It’s a witches tree and a protection against ‘bad’ magic – particularly when tied with red string.
The Rowan has got some wonderful folk names but is also generally known as Mountain Ash.
I just feel so blessed to have her there, particularly since I live in a UK city.
And the odd thing is, the berries (which carry the pentagram) on my tree are white. Usually they are red. And now, after ten years, they are changing. There’s a soft pink blush covering them and they look so beautiful.
I’m wondering what this might symbolise for me. But then I am a moon in pisces and I can’t help but think symbolically. Which makes putting up shelves difficult………..
I haven’t felt so in control in a long, long time, and thats coming from someone with a natal mars cap sextile saturn in scorpio (I put the “freak” in “control freak”). Not just that but so aggressive. And so busy! But really, this otherwise peaceable double libra is ready to throw someone out (i’m a bartender) for giving me the wrong look. SERIOUSLY. I can’t imagine what will happen to me with this full moon in my 5th…and my beau is an aries, too. uh oh… the scorping and the zap zone squares are merciless critics! all i want to do is be feral but I live in new york. maybe go howl at the moon?!
ME TOO. OMG. I’ve been manic-busy as hell and have been discovering a fierce sense of independence. I haven’t gotten so much stuff done in a long time but it’s sort of exhausting because it won’t let me rest! I’ll be sitting on the couch and the little voice in the back of my head will be like, “What are you doing sitting down? You have so much stuff to do! Up up up!”
From the start of the day , my god. insane work. emo throwing. aqua completely lost it at me last week and continuing phone drama this week, determined to destroy any time spent in his absence happy. Clocked off and ran to a gig which was awesome and hid with Scorpio lawyer friend to blow off some needed steam. One drink only then came home only to find my local wrapped in police tape with a crime scene (so no late night hommus snack then..) and the aqua telling me to get the rest of my stuff tomorrow he is moving in with his ex this week. Pulling up the drawbridge…
It’s rained all night!! Not impressed? What’s the big deal? Well, we’ve been without rain since April 28th this year over 150 days at least!….noticed people smiling & chatting at the supermarket, like a tension has been released. Woke with a power black out at 5am laid there and listened to the thunder and rain. Beautiful!
Yes to everything evolving at warp speed right now. I have such a craving for the beach… hopefully will get the chance to go for a long walk by the ocean this weekend. I really need it. I have done so much evolution I need a couple of days of solitude and rest.
Met w lawyer… brilliant, compassionate woman… so am totes clued up as to my options. I’ve also got indications from work that they are keen to hire me if they can sort some admin obstacles. The same day, I burned all my ex lover’s correspondence. So it’s all gone, no evidence remains, except three books of poetry: one poet he introduced me to, one my favourite poet to whom I introduced him; and one anthology of stuff he wrote about me. They are in the recycling bin at the mo so I have a few days to forage among the olive oil bottles and salmon tins and rescue them. I can’t help thinking Sappho and Neruda deserve a better fate. Why should they pay, just because I fell in love with a married man?
I am feeling better, but this week started out soooo difficult. The energy was so intense, but has mellowed here.
My families emotions, so yes, people I love and care for. Screw everyone else.
Also, hug an Equine. They are also very grounding.
